(Dutch version below)Every time I go for a run I start off positively. I want to go run and I start off pretty good, but when I'm halfway I start to have doubts about why I'm doing this. And by the end of my run I'm just very frustrated, because you can't really call it... Continue Reading →
Running abroad
(Dutch version below) I love to travel and discovering new places. But this means that I can be away from home for quite some time. This would also mean no running for quite some time.

(Dutch version below) Lately I've been bothered by the idea that my running is not progressing the way that it should. I've been running for 8 weeks now, of which the last 4 were more serious (3 times a week and actually trying to be faster). And although I do see a difference in my average... Continue Reading →
